These Greek yogurt waffles are golden and crisp on the outside with a tender, fluffy interior, made with simple ingredients and a boost of protein from yogurt. Perfect for make-ahead breakfasts or cozy weekend mornings.
1 Melt coconut oil either on the stove or in the microwave. Set aside to cool to room temperature.
2 In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk with a fork to mix.
3 Add the eggs and egg whites on top of the dry ingredients and use the fork to quickly mix the eggs just to break up the yolks.
4 Add the yogurt, milk, vanilla, room temperature coconut oil and maple syrup if using to the bowl along with 1/3 to 1/2 cup room temperature water and whisk just until there are no more clumps of flour. The batter should look like a thick pancake batter.
5 Leave the batter to hydrate while you heat your waffle iron.
6 Preheat waffle iron and when hot spray or brush with cooking spray, oil (coconut), or butter.
7 Cook waffles (using about ½ cup batter per waffle) for about 5-7 minutes until golden and crisp.
8 Remove waffles to a cooling rack as you continue to cook batches of the waffles, adding more cooking spray, oil or butter each time.
9 Serve waffles immediately as they are ready, or keep them warm in a 200 degree oven until ready to serve.
10 Enjoy!
